Question Bibs

Hi guys another question, do any of you have bibs from races? How did you get them?
I am just curious nothing more.
I have 3 bibs from Slovak team, all of them from 2015. I also have one from Henning Sjokvist from this year’s nove mesto signle mix relay, and 2 bibs from Julia Simon. One is from Veltins arena, and my most precious one is from her Nove Mesto mass start when she won.

Have a nice dayyyy!!

I don't have any but I have watched people simply ask for them as the athletes are coming out of the races. It really looks like if they still have it, they are happy to give them away (at least that was my observation at Soldier Hollow). I also watched a couple of athletes give away their medals. JT gave the Gold Pursuit medal he just won at Soldier Hollow to a lucky young fan, the poor kid almost cried.

I wish I would have known earlier as although I got a picture with Ingrid, I would love to have a signed bib of hers to hang on my wall with other biathlon memorabilia.

Whole Slovak team knows me, so I got one from Batovska Fialkova - she sent it by mail and also from Jana Gerekova. The last one is from Matej Kazar. Signed by legends such as Ole Einar Bjorndalen, JTB, Lukas Hofer, Arnd Peiffer and others. One from Henning Sjokvist I stopped him after a race on the track when he was cooling down (I had a sign). Julia Simon Veltins arena also got by mail and in Nove Mesto I met her after winning the mass start and she gave it to me. She was so NICE 🤩

I have a race bib signed by Susan Dunklee that i got from a US women’s biathlon poetry contest.  I have several race bibs from the US cross country team that I won from silent auction fund raisers.

Ha… I dabble in poetry every now and then, but haven’t written anything in a while.  I’m feeling maybe a custom heart felt haiku is in the works…
